After the axes have been positioned at the end point of the arc press either
the {STORE END PT} or the {EDIT & STORE} softkeys. The control
will store the current tool position as the end point of the arc.
The {STORE END PT} softkey does not return the control to the
program display screen. Pressing this softkey inserts the generated
block at whatever location the cursor was last at on the program edit
screen and allows the operator to immediately begin entering the next
block using this same digitize feature.
The {EDIT & STORE} softkey returns the control to the program
display screen. The program block just generated is displayed on the
input line of the CRT and may be edited as discussed in chapter 2. This
block is then inserted at the location of the block cursor when the
[TRANSMIT] key is pressed.
Important: To abort the circular digitize operation press the exit {

}
softkey at any time before pressing the {STORE END PT} or
{EDIT & STORE} softkeys. The control will be returned to softkey level
4. Then select either another digitize feature (by pressing one of the
softkeys) or the control can be returned to the regular edit session (as
discussed in section 5.2) by pressing the exit {
•
} softkey.
